Brandt Talks AI in Creative Review Article

MCAD Design Chair and Professor Erik Brandt is featured in an article by London-based magazine Creative Review about how artificial intelligence will help creatives.

Brandt illustrates how voice recognition, for example, could benefit his design practice, saying, “I could sit comfortably and say, ‘right, I’d like a big red circle…no, a little smaller,’ and so on . . . That seems quite attractive to me." He goes on to describe how AI could help him teach design as well, saying, "A real barrier for a lot of new students, in particular, is that there’s this illusion that there’s something we’re not teaching them or these ‘secrets’ that could somehow solve design. With an interface like the one I described, it would be much easier to convey the fact that design is a physical thing; it’s an activity, it’s emotional, and it’s within your grasp, it’s not just about the computer!”
